The desires, goals and aspirations that we have as we move through life so often rely on having a body which is fit for purpose. As a Functional Ageing Specialist, I can help you exercise safely and effectively so you are fit for the life you want to lead.
Your age does not define your level of fitness, and whether you are in your 60’s, 70’s, 80’s or even 90’s there are many factors which contribute to your physical condition at any point in time. However, it is my belief that whatever your current level, you can become fitter, healthier, more vibrant and functional at any age.
Fit For Life
It’s essential to be physically active if you want to live a healthy and fulfilling life into old age. According to the nhs.uk site, exercise can reduce your risk of major illnesses, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and cancer, and lower your risk of early death by up to 30%.
Whatever your age, there’s strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life. Research also shows that physical activity can boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy, as well as reducing your risk of stress.
Everyday Activities
For most people, the easiest way to get moving is to make activity part of everyday life, like walking for health or cycling instead of using the car to get around. However, the more you do, the better, and taking part in activities such as sports and exercise will make you even healthier.
Exercise Programme Uniquely Beneficial to You
The personal training environment allows me to thoroughly assess your physical capabilities and tailor an exercise programme that is uniquely beneficial to you. We can work together to improve your muscle strength and power, balance, flexibility, mobility and aerobic capacity.
My aim is to help you achieve a fitter and healthier body – one that allows you to enjoy your favourite activities, successfully carry out daily tasks, be less likely to fall and helps you maintain your independence.
This is not about training to run a marathon (unless you want to!) or play rugby. It’s about being fit for life – whatever that may mean for you right now.
